Factory a/c without tinted glass?

[Bill Bailey 15]

Hi All,

I have a factory a/c car that, other than the rear window being tinted, has clear glass.

My grandfather bought this car new, so I'm positive it always had clear glass.

So was tinted glass an option even on the a/c cars?

Marti report attached.

 

Thanks in advance.

Tinted glass was supposed to be mandatory on all a/c cars, but i would email kevin and ask him if he has ever heard of such a thing as clear glass on an a/c car.

I found another a/c 69 Mustang Marti report online, and it shows tinted glass as an option.

I just got off the phone  with marti auto works. Tinted glass was an option even on the a/c cars.

Interesting, that was not the case on the 65 and 66 cars.

FWIW;  my car has SUN-X glass and no AC.  Not mentioned on the Marti report and is date correct.  Sept-68 Metuchen.  Brian

That's the  norm. My brother is  working on a  1965 Chrysler without  air and has tinted glass.  Everyone  says only the air cars had tinted  glass

I have always heard and rear that tinted glass automatically came on the 65-6 cars. I had assumed it was all of them but it appears that it some point ford made it optional

Tinted glass was definitely an option on a non ac car in 65/66. As far as 65/66 cars that came with clear glass always having a tinted rear window, I don't remember that but I suppose it is possible but it wouldn't make any sense as far as I can tell. It also makes zero sense to me to put clear glass in an ac car but they obviously did.
